How does one go about fidning out what kind of motherboard you have?

Here are three ways that I know of to identify a motherboard.
1. You can usually find the name or an abbreviation thereof silk-screened on the motherboard/on the side of the last expansion board slot to the left of the motherboard. Additionally, the slot will often contain the board version number.
2. Watch the computer as it boots. The manufacture's name and motherboard model might be displayed as the BIOS goes through its post routine. Use the Pause Key to freeze the screen (and any key to restart it).
3. Download and run This utility will get the BIOS identifier string and sometimes also, the motherboard part number. Now just do a search on google for number(s) that CT BIOS finds.
